require the registration of fishing guides.

SB 160 requires fishing guides in South Dakota to register annually with the Department of Game, Fish and Parks. It directly affects individuals who provide paid fishing guide services, imposing a $50 fee for residents and $250 for non-residents. Guides must submit daily electronic reports detailing trip dates, participants, locations, and fish species/numbers taken. Failure to register is a Class 1 misdemeanor, and fees collected fund fish restocking efforts based on reported catches. The bill establishes registration eligibility (age 21+, truthful application) and allows the Commission to deny or suspend registration for misrepresentation or missed reports.
